Eggs Jewish Pileggi, Savory pie, Try it 8 Servings

INGREDIENTS

~Jewish, Turkish
1 1/2 lb Fresh spinach
3 Eggs, beaten
1/2 t Salt
1/8 t Pepper
1/4 c Matzoh meal
4 Sheets matzoh
Water, cold
2 T Oil
1 T Walnut, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash the spinach well to remove sand and drain it. Coarsely chop the
stems and leaves.  Mix with the eggs, salt, pepper, and matzoh meal.
Set aside Moisten the sheets of matzoh with cold water, just enough  to
soften but not so much that they break up. Rub a heatproof glass  or
metal baking dish, about 9x6x2", with all but 1 teaspoon of the  oil.
Put 2-1/2 sheets of the moist matzoh -- big enough to turn up  around
the edges -- on the bottom of the dish. Add the spinach  mixture and
cover with remaining 1-1/2 sheets of the matzoh for the  pie cover.
Brush with the reserved 1 teaspoon of oil and sprinkle the  walnuts
over the top. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 30  minutes.
Serve warm, cut into generous squares or triangles.  VARIATIONS    Mix
1/2 pound ground beef with the spinach, eggs, salt, pepper, and  matzoh
meal, and proceed as above.    Or chop 1/4 pound farmer cheese and 1/4
pound of feta cheese. Mix  this with the spinach, eggs, salt, pepper,
and matzoh meal, and  proceed as for the spinach pie. This cheese dish
could be (but is  not, traditionally) eaten during Passover, but it is
usually prepared  for other days. In my opinion, substituting sheets of
matzoh in place  of the fragile sheets of fillo (which are not kosher
for Passover) is  ingenious. It results in a different taste and is an
admirable  solution for the kosher kitchen.  Posted 10-20-93 by DAVID
